What are annuity rates?

An “annuity rate” may refer to either 1) the price you pay for an annuity or 2) the interest rate an annuity experiences.

The price you pay

Except for immediate annuities, you must fund your annuity for a while, and when you believe you’ve accumulated enough funds, you can stop paying in and have your annuity start paying out.

For as long as you keep up your annuity’s accumulation phase (when you’re paying in), you are required to pay premiums (as you would do for an insurance policy).  You may arrange for your annuity to require monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual premiums.

Generally, the premium (or annuity rate) represents a minimum requirement.  You are at liberty to pay in at greater frequency or greater amount than the required premium.

The interest you accrue

During a premium’s accumulation phase, it builds interest.

The interest rate may be guaranteed or not guaranteed.  (Even when it’s not guaranteed, you should have a guarantee that your interest will never drop below a certain rate.)

If your interest rate is guaranteed, it may be fixed for only a certain number of years.  If you maintain your accumulation phase beyond that period, your interest rate will drop, so be sure to learn how long the rate is fixed.
